Birx went on to praise Florida’s public health side for “doing an extraordinary job keeping their communities informed day by day about where the virus is, where the new cases are.”

Um, everywhere?

Interesting she said people should be following state and local guidelines, and not federal guidelines, which because of Trump, have been all over the map. I suspect that wasn’t an oversight.

Birx: “And we’ve been telling the American people all along that they need to really follow state and local guidelines…"

I guess she didn’t hear them say, “Fuck off!”

These protesters are Trump men which means they are cowards.
They talk huge and carry guns when no one is armed but them.
True Trump sissy boys.

What a lot of mealy-mouthed tripe. This is the level of stupidity we’re dealing with, and she’s talking like children are being too antsy lining up for recess. Every health professional in the administration should be telling these morons they are un-American and it is is their patriotic duty to follow life-saving policies, and by attending rallies and frolicking at the beach, they are doing more to harm the country than Osama bin Laden ever did.

They probably also need to tell them “Jesus no longer has time to meet new arrivals, but one of the minor saints might be available.” How does this idiot think his wife and daughter will get by if he croaks and runs up a lot of medical bills on his way out?!

“If it’s your time, it’s your time. I’m ready to see Jesus today. Amen. Especially if he puts food on the table and keeps a roof over my little girl’s head. That’s all I’m concerned about is keeping my family safe. And eating.”

Last I heard, FL authorities weren’t telling the relatives of care home residents where Covid-19 was established.

“And we’ve been telling the American people all along that they need to really follow state and local guidelines, and they themselves need to be educated and knowledgeable about this virus.”

“So, the exact opposite of what the fucking idiot in the WH is saying,” she continued.

Sociopathy can be socially induced. This was always known. It’s just in the wrong setting, caused by the wrong man at the wrong time.

I cannot give a percentage of how many will see the error of their ways, but I reckon it is related to elements in their personalities which have zero to do with Donald Trump and everything to do with their own selves before they even knew about Trump.

This is not politics. This is something “politics” can be used for.

After playing a clip of protesters in Austin, Texas shouting “fire Fauci,” ABC News’ George Stephanopolous asked Birx what her message is to them.

“Well, first, Dr. Fauci and I have had a strong partnership for over 30-plus years,” Birx said. “And we’ve been telling the American people all along that they need to really follow state and local guidelines, and they themselves need to be educated and knowledgeable about this virus.”

Birx then said that following guidelines ensures that people are protecting both themselves and each other, before urging states to “do a great job” of communicating in local communities due to how “every community is different.”

Strong words from one of Cockwombles enablers. :roll_eyes:

If Birx really wants to be helpful she should use one of her colorful scarves to plug up his facial orifice. Make it the most powerful strong and beautiful plug ever …pour a cup of superglue on it.

Well, your boss says they are responsible people, so I’m sure they’re already doing this, before your say-so.

Or not.
